Forest & Bird want to kill every non native animal in the bush,they are no friend to the NZ hunter

Correct, I'm doing my own thing to get rid of plastic bags, don't need to give money to those pricks to help with their agenda as stated above (where I'm sure some or all of the money will be going). I've written to countdown wanting an answer.

Wrote to countdown, they won't answer my direct question i.e what is the mechanism they use to give money to f and b, is it onecard?I keep getting a pat answer; "thanks for getting in touch with us. As part of our environmental and community initiatives, we partner with a number of charities across New Zealand, including Forest and Bird as part of our efforts to reduce plastic and help minimize our impact on the environment.

For our All for One campaign, we have chosen three great causes and given customers the choice on who they would like to donate a prize to. We understand and appreciate that everyone will have different view on these charities, and we thank you for your feedback.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us via email or call 0800 40 40 40".

F&B truely believe 1080 and broudificum are the only 2 answers to NZ Bush. They refute any anti 1080 research and the research that states Moa were the equivalent major vegetative browser pre colonisation. They are a very dangerous group as far as hunters are concerned and they have a lot of pull with DOC, Regional councils and central Govt.

Equivalent to deer/tahr/chamois/pigs?

Deer. The research was done by a couple of LandCare scientists. Not sure if they had their funding tail off, coming up with findings like that! The cheek of it, finding an equivalent place in the ecosystem for the dreaded enemy!!!

Although collectively the various taxa of deer in New Zealand use all of the habitats utilised by moa, and there is partial overlap in the diets of deer and moa, deer can attain densities and biomasses 100- fold greater than reasonably surmised for moa. We believe that the impacts of introduced deer on ecosystems are markedly different from those of moa.

Although, I dont see the Forum cited in their references, so guess that's a flaw in the study
